Together, they became just the third pair of Yankees teammates to each hit 40 or more homers in a single season &ndash; joining Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig (1927, &rsquo;30, &rsquo;31) and Mickey Mantle and Roger Maris (1961). You&rsquo;d think Soto, arguably one of the top five hitters in the game today, would want to build on that historic season alongside the league&rsquo;s best hitter.<\/p><p>Apparently not.<\/p><p>A duo that some might argue had more chemistry than most romantic couples lasted just one year. Soto hit free agency, switched boroughs, and signed a record-breaking, almost unreal 15-year, $765 million deal with the New York Mets.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Juan Soto, Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton go BACK-TO-BACK-TO-BACK! &#128170;\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/H1l00KXYXcs?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure><p>Judge and Soto also made history in another way &ndash; Judge (133 walks) and Soto (129 walks) became the first Major League teammates ever to tally at least 40 homers and 120 walks in a season.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What does Aaron Judge think about Juan Soto&rsquo;s move?<\/h2><p>The reigning, unanimous AL MVP tried to reach out to Soto in the offseason, but a change of phone numbers apparently left those messages unread.
